Squad depthGoalkeeper

V. Karakuş is a 28-year-old goalkeeper at Manisa F.K., rated 25.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 106th of 224 on scout potential in the 1. Lig. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (52.6% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Karakuş.

Judged on this season alone, Karakuş graded 2 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 13th of 22 of the 22 goalkeepers in the 1. Lig, on 1 clean sheet across 10 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 26 → 2). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 9th of 22 of the 22 goalkeepers in the 1. Lig. At 28 Karakuş is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.3 reflects that trajectory.

1 clean sheet in 10 appearances (10% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (16th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 52.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 25.1, Karakuş carries the 9th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the 1. Lig of 22 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
